Don't miss this one.
Both crazy and sly as a fox gypsies Narda (Bella Bruck) and accomplice Yerko (veteran actor Leon Belasco) take a detour through Beverly Hills. Why not? And why not try to shake down some chumps?
Naturally, you know where this is going -- and it's loony toons, thanks to the zany writing of Paul Henning. Once again, one of the many goofy classic episodes all us kids loved, and couldn't wait to see in reruns. Comedian Bella Bruck (popular on the ODD COUPLE), is hilarious as the self proclaimed gypsy queen who manages to gain the confidence of Jed and everybody else, bringing some very good news and very bad news... The catch is to keep her and Yerko around for awhile, the longer the better and more profitable.
Just insane.
Naturally, Mr. Drysdale knows a con when he sees one, keeping an eye on the crooks, and with some funny dialogue to go along with the charade. Check out the costumes and makeup. Long time makeup artist Roy Stork was very creative with Bella Bruck, also series hairstylist Frances Perry, who worked on PETTICOAT JUNCTION. Long before coming to Hollywood, Stork was a famous and much decorated WWII pilot, often asked about his adventures.
If you're a movie buff, you'll recognize Leon Belasco, who played lots of offbeat characters, like scientists and doctors, in many classic films.
